Johnny cuts chapel systematically and cannot find it in his heart to refuse to cancel notifications sent to students for the same reason, hence his popularity. He runs a cxnch course but we hear that nc. t year they are to have a course embracing mechanics, chemistry, structures, etc. Then all of Johnny ' s students will turn over and die. Allen Hlliiigtoii Rogers, M. A. Professor of Civics and Constitutional Laic. Born at Kllsworth. Me., April 23, 1855; Bowdoin College, B. A., 187(); M.

There is little occasion to euloerize to any great extent upon Allie ' s good qualities, as they are too well known to all the student body. A short and easy way to get rid of this long and wearisome task is to quote a saying which is always quite prevalent about registration time and which sneaks for itself: — You ' re making a big mistake if you graduate from the t ' niver- sity of Maine without taking anything under Allie Rogers. Lucius Herbert Merrill. B. S. Professor of Biological Chemistry and Chemist in Experiment Station . Born at . uburn. Me.. October 1. 1857; University of Maine, B S., 188:i; Chemist of Experiment .Station, 188() — ; Instructor of Biolojjical Chemistry, 1897-98 ; Professor of Biological Chem- istry, 1898 — ; member of American Association for t!ie Advance- ment of .Science ; Societj- for the Promotion of .Agricultural .Science ; K , i: X. His habit of always picking out the longest prayers in the chapel praver book tnakes him out much worse than he really is. The thing for which he is especially noted is not so much the way in which he always cracks jokes in biological chemistry but more the evident anger with which he greets any jovial appreciation of them on the part of the sttidents.

Prexy ' s word is law in this University, so it is rather risky sayine things about him. He attained to some popularity last spring by relieving Carnegie of 550.000 in tainted money uitli which to build a library. He has many traits of character of which we do not ajiprove, but we think a few more years at Maine will make a thoroughbred of him. Merritt Caldwell Fernald, M. A., Ph. D., LL.

Were it not for I ' re. ie we fear that our engineers would many of them leave college with but ati iiill erlect preparation for their profession.

Xearly every student in college has had occasion to visit Janie ' s little office, and all are sure to get a warm welcome. He neglects to furnish his guests with cigars, but that is p robably an oversight. In his wide experi- ence he has probably heard more lies than any other member of the faculty.

Chipper looks like tlie villi. n in a lo, 20 and 30 cent show, and were it not that we know his kind disposition, many of us would be afraid of him. He belongs to the Farm Gang. and is chieily noted for the (iualit of the apples that he raises, whicli many a time have ' found their way, via the suit case, to the students ' rooms.
